White Sangria

Shake up your summer nights with this fresh and fruity White Sangria made with white wine, triple sec, oranges and lemons.

Cheers to four wonderful years! Today is a big day in Sweet Pea’s Kitchen. It marks my four year blog anniversary! I can’t believe that it has been four years since I shared my very first recipe, Chicken with Balsamic Bell Peppers. If you have followed me since the beginning, then you have seen 920 different recipes. In case you missed any of them, you can always access all of the recipes from the Recipe Index.

This version of sangria take only seconds to make and requires only a handful of ingredients: lemons, oranges, sugar, inexpensive wine, and triple sec. Although this recipe takes seconds to make, it’s extremely important to let the sangria sit before drinking, at least two hours. A full eight hours is best and will give the sangria the best flavor.

Why not bring a pitcher to liven up that backyard barbecue you’re invited to? It’s guaranteed to keep you cool all summer long!

Directions:

1. Add sliced orange, lemon, and sugar to large pitcher; mash gently with wooden spoon until fruit releases some juice, but is not totally crushed, and sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Stir in orange juice, Triple Sec, and wine; refrigerate for at least 2, and up to 8, hours.

Four Years! Congratulations! I would love to sit down with you and have a glass or maybe two of this delightful—shake up my summer—-drink and hear about your journey over those 4 yrs. I liked the recipe by the way. I pinned it.
